Let's Revisit Essence Table Topper

This table topper has been documented already, but let's revisit it because I'm kinda proud of it. It represents my very first try at half square triangles (HSTs). And, I think they turned out pretty darn good. To think I would have never tried them, at least not yet, if not for the encouragement of my dear husband to try something new. He things they are cool, loves that you can get some many different looks just by twisting them this way and that.

Here it is layered and ready to be basted. (the best photo I have of it, I think).

This one will always be special to me because of the teamwork of myself and my husband that went into it. It all started when I picked upBig Block Quilts by Moose on the Porch Quilts (love this little book) on sale at a local store. My husband flipped through it a bit when he saw it lying around.
